The BOMB grow spot!

I’m originally from New York and I moved to Costa Rica 6years ago to enjoy life. I’m only 34 years old but it was time to get out ofthe “rat race.” After a while I realized it was so hard to get good qualitybuds down here. I starting doing some research andand began growing a little something for myself. I started off with 2 growtents; a 4’ by 8’ for my flowers and a 4’ by 4’ for my mothers and veg. After awhile all of my friends were begging me for the killer buds I was growing andit got to be that I didn’t have enough to keep them satisfied. I found alsothat I LOVED growing. I was always online watching videos, reading articles,and talking to all of the manufacturers. So about a year ago I built the BOMBgrow spot.

Building:
· 1500 square foot solid concrete building with 10foot ceilings.
· Located on a private mountain farm I own that is8 acres.
· Has 6 separate rooms (Clean Entry Room,Workspace, Drying Room,
Mother Room, Veg Room, and Flower Room.
· All the rooms are completely sealed and separate
· Since the property is so big I’m not too worriedabout a slight amount of odor so we have 12” axial intake and exhaust fans ontimers (shut off when the Co2 kicks in) in every plant room to provide freshair.
· All of our dehumidifiers have dedicated drainlines to a semi-buried 800 gallon reservoir which is used to cool the three Co2Generators with 3 Flotec 4/10hp Submersible Pumps
· Separate water faucets and floor drains in everyroom. All the water is filtered with Cuno APUV8 UV Filter System, Cuno AP801 Sediment Filter, and a Kinetico Water Softner. TRUE 0ppm water.
· The entire plumbing system is 3/4" PEX tubing with solid brass fittings. All water is boosted by a Grundfos OS Booster System with a Amtrol ST-12 Expansion Tank.
· 3 separate breaker panels for the building. Two100amp services that feed all the small loads and auxilary items. A 200 amp service which is stolen off the bus bar in the meter main/branch unit. Here in Costa Rica it can be very eaily done as the electric company does not have keys to the locks on your metering equipment nor do they have smart transformers or the software in the regional offices to monitor differences in neutral readings or in kilowatt hours used versus kilowatt hours billed. All building wiring is buried in the walls inconduit with nothing exposed.
· All critical loads are backed up by 2 Eaton Powerware 9170+ UPS Systems. The entire house is backed up by a 65kW John Deere Diesel Generator and Transfer Bypass Switch. The generator takes 3-5 minutes to warm up and then all of the loads on the UPS systems are transferred over.
· All light and inline fans are on adjustablehangers
· The entire building is cooled by a Trane XL20i Air Conditioner, Trane Hyperion Air Handler, Trane Clean Effects Air Purifier, and independent digital climate controls for all plant rooms and the workshop area. All ducting in in the ceiling except in the flower room where some exposed ducting has been brought down to blow directly on the plant tops.

Just thougt I'd share!

How are the laws there?
And...let's see some pix!

lets see pics man that sounds like a killer setup

you are living my dream buddy!

dam yea...got any pics ? and what are the laws there ?

As the others have said, let's see it! I can't wait!

Can't wait to see this!

yes show us

Pics or it didn't happen

what the fuck sounds too good to be true. How much does it cost to make a move to costa rica and how are you coming up with all this dough for such an intense set up.

12,800 watt flower room? lets peep it bruh

lol this is a joke

the guy know what he wants though...

I'm just a newbie but I must say*cough bullshit cough*

Talk about the dream..

Lost track of my account for a while. Sorry I haven't responded sooner. To all those haters out there feel free to come on down and check it out. Or shoot me a message and i'll send you over a copy of over $60,000 in invoices from Chillking, Hydro Innovations, Water Cooled Gardens and my Eletrical & Plumbing Supply Houses. Never post pics of your room online. That's what someone once told me and I stick to it. Here's a drawing of the room though so you can see how we have it set up. We made some changes since I first posted that thread. We added a 10hp Chiller, 2 Air Handlers, C.A.P. Light Controller and High Temperature Shutoffs, Extra Light and Grow Buckets, and a bunch more goodies. The cool thing is that it is easy to steal electricity here. You can tap right into the busbar on your Meter Main unit cause you actually own the box here in Costa Rica. You put your own locks on it. Plus the utility company here doesn't have the technology or the software to read individual power consumption off transformers.

Living in Costa Rica may not be for everyone but it sure suits me. Less restriction and big brother breathing down your neck. Wake up to beautiful beaches everyday and the women are smoking hot and treat you like a king. If you ever need a guide just drop me a line. My real job is that I am a developer of High End Spec Homes. I build them in high tourist areas on spec and then either rent them out as vacation rentals or sell them.

I was lucky and got down here before the markets crashed. I started doing Spec Homes and I also started and Import Company. Shit grew out of control. We import almost everything except refrigerated goods. That's how I am able to import all of my Garden Supplies.

If you wanna make the move here it's cheap. Just depends on how many of the creature comforts of the U.S. you can leave behind. Property is cheap and rentals are even cheaper as long as you are not on the beach in a big tourism area. Even then it's not too bad. You can rent a nice condo near the beach for $800 - $1200 a month. Everything else is cheap. $10 a month for cable, $10 for a cellphone, $5 in water, and your electricity (depends). I have a lady that comes to my house 6 days a week from 7am till 5pm. She cleans, does my laundry, grocery shopping, and cooking. I pay her $350 a month and that's considered high.

Youve just inspired me. That would be awesome to live down in costa rica and have such a large scale grow. What "comforts" did you have to give up?

2 good 2 be true. Sounds like heaven to me

I dream of having this in the future

You give up a lot. But you learn to live without it after a while. No fast internet; no 200 TV channels; No HD Cable Television; everything is slow here; takes longer to get things done; outside of the capital it's hard to find a lot of good restaurants; the selection in the grocery stores is about a 3rd of what it is in the U.S.; no online shopping; no mail delivery system period (there is DHL); Cars are really expensive because of import taxes; hard to find a lot of things we take for granted in the U.S.
